Abstract:
A light source apparatus includes a light source section emitting first light having a first wavelength band, a light guide propagating part of the first light, a wavelength converter disposed side by side with the light guide and including a phosphor emitting second light having a second wavelength band when excited by another part of the first light, and a light combiner that combines the first light exiting the light guide with the second light exiting the wavelength converter. The light source section faces the light guide and the wavelength converter.
